Xamarin.Forms - Change StatusBar Color

Question

I search but I can\'t find if it\'s possible to change the StatusBar color for each platform, from my portable code? (for Android, iOS & WinPhone 8.1)

Answer 1

This works for me.

In the App.xaml

 <Color x:Key="navBarRed">#AA0000</Color>
 <Color x:Key="navBarBlue">#F4721C</Color>
 <Color x:Key="navBarColour">#F4721C</Color>
 <Style TargetType="NavigationPage">
     <Setter Property="BarBackgroundColor" Value="{DynamicResource navBarColour}"/>
 </Style>

Then when you want to change the colour:

if (Condition == true)
    App.Current.Resources["navBarColour"] = App.Current.Resources["navBarBlue"];
else
    App.Current.Resources["navBarColour"] = App.Current.Resources["navBarRed"];
